Great great record. Even when it came out back in 1982 it was pretty heavy shit compared to a lot of the pop / dross that was about then (synth pop, rubbish slap bass white funk electro freakouts). Unfairly compared to both Joy Division and Siouxsie, it was nothing like those bands - great though these other bands were. It was, I guess, angst, despair, misery and misanthropy in a class of its own. In releasing their 'darker' albums in years to come, The Cure have been trying to trade on its glories ever since.

"...Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Just like the old days..." One of my absolutely favourite albums, that turned my whole life upside down!!! I'm shure, that my great interest in new wave & cold wave began from the first time I heard a drumline of One Hundred Years!!!

One more day like today and I'll kill you!!!
A desire for flesh and real blood!!
I'll watch you drown in the shower...
Pushing my life through your open eyes.
I must fight this sickness!
Find a cure!
I must fight this sickness!!!!!
